Magic Bullet Colorista II

Reviews & Awards

"Color correction/color grading is really coming into its own these days with more quality cameras than ever before and affordable color grading tools everywhere you look. Colorista II adds a powerful new option to the mix … with no import/export/round-tripping!"

"The versatility of the secondary masking/keying and the many controls Colorista II has to offer is amazing. It introduces much of the power of a full-blown color correction application in a single filter. Most other plug-in companies are just catching up to the original Colorista with their own color correction filters, but Red Giant has raised the bar again with Magic Bullet Colorista II."

"If you’re a fan of Colorista 1 then you’ll definitely want to spend the very reasonable $99 to upgrade to Colorista II. If you’re new to the game entirely then the $299 purchase price is well worth it as this is a full featured color grading tool that is leaps and bounds better than its predecessor (which was already a good tool) and leaps and bounds better than a lot of competitors."

"In the week since Colorista II has been on the market, I’ve seen a number of forum questions about it and the core issue many have is ...Why do you need Colorista II, or for that matter, any other color correction plug-in? I use Color and like it a lot, but it’s not the right tool for every project...

Another consideration is After Effects....By using Colorista II, you keep all of its horsepower, while still able to work with all of the other After Effects tools. Another situation of staying “in context”."

"I was glad to see that when Red Giant went to update Colorista, they didn't just throw in a couple of new features, they went back to the drawing board, looked at what Colorista did well, and what it didn't do at all, an made HUGE steps to make it a product worth picking up, or upgrading to.  I can easily see Colorista II becoming part of my post production process in the future."

"As always with Red Giant products, what’s under the hood is just as impressive as the paint job. The plugin installed, ran, and rendered flawlessly. Compared to the stock Final Cut color grading tools, Colorista 2 handles transition areas more smoothly, and can push color farther before starting to show compression artifacts and digital noise."
